My man said I ain’t talk about Big Doe enough on this sh*t. But y’all know me. Y’all know how ya man P Tone gets down. Big Doe got the same ill darts as my other albums.
I miss home but I love going on tour. When I work on album I put my all into it. It don’t take me long to bang out a joint but when I’m in the lab that’s all there is. I don’t see my kids like I want. I don’t see the ladies like I should. It just be me and the Unit and whatever producers I work with. After I put in that hard work and we deal with all the politics and bullshit I like to get on the bus and spread love.
Yo when you on tour you be clocking mad hours on the bus. Most of the time I just chill. Write some rhymes and eat some turkey burgers or whatever. We also listen to radio here and there. See what they playing in South Carolina, Georgia, Connecticut and sh*t like that. Word up it’s all the same thing. ‘I used to sell this, that, and the third. I got all this paper, whatever.’ These n*ggas is liars. Straight up.
When you peep the new album cover inside you gonna see Big Tone rocking the hockey mask. Had to blast off from the stocking cap. That was some 36 Chambers sh*t. In 2007 I had to rock the Jason mask and sh*t. N*ggas ask me why I put the mask on again. Sometimes you just have to bring it back, you know? That’s how I came out to the world and after like 6 solo joints I wanted to bring it back.
Everywhere I go people ask me about my Wallys. Ever since we dropped that skit on ‘Cuban Linx' that has been my trademark. And the Wally hustle has been that way since I was a shorty back in Staten Island. When I used to mess with them fly n*ggas from Rae’s project we also used to bless the Wallys. Taking the basic colors and flipping them was just what you did back in the day. But I guess I just did them iller than the next dude.
So I did a little cameo for the new Ironman movie a while back. They got my man Robert Downey Jr. playing Tony Starks. When I heard they were doing the movie I was like ‘cool.’ Then my peoples told me they wanted to be up in the joint. It bugged me out. I ain’t really know them Hollywood cats was up on me and sh*t. But I guess they was.
I saw this interview I did with fly ass Miss Info on the tour bus. She asked me why I had put Kid Capri on ‘Celebrate.’ To me Kid Capri is the voice I hear when a n*gga is happy. He was doing mixtapes way before n*ggas was doing mixtapes. Rocking parties and all that. He used to have the ill tape pendant. Remember that shot on his album cover? That shit was fly.
Everybody asking me about what Rae said about the RZA and ‘8 Diagrams.’ First of all, that is family business and if you wanna see how Tone feel, go Google me, know what I mean? Personally, I don’t like that shit. RZA went on his path but we’ll see what the deal is because I know he flipped some shit at the end.
Yo I been on this tour with the god Rakim. That nigga is so f**king nice. Y’all young n****s don’t even know the half. The god was rhyming back when your man Tone was still on the corners doing hand to hands. I remember being back by Stapleton f**king with Rae before we got this Wu sh*t popping listening to ‘Paid In Full.’ I was like word up, if I get a chance I am rock like that ni**a.
Aight it’s your man Pretty Tone. I’m going to f**k with this blog thing-thing for my peoples at SOHH. One love to my man Spaulding at Brooklyn Bodega for putting this thing together. You mad funny, Lord. Keep your sneaker game up. You still can’t f**k with me though. Word.
